Benitez Doubles Up Through Petrone
Level 9
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Ramiro Petrone opened for 6,000 from the cutoff and Francisco Benitez called from the big blind.
The flop came 
and both players tapped the table.
On the 
turn, Benitez put in a bet and, after using a time bank chip, Petrone shoved over the top of the Uruguayan. Benitez called rather quickly and cards went on their backs.
Francisco Benitez: 
Ramiro Petrone: 
Petrone was visibly annoyed when Benitez showed that he had also turned a king with a better kicker.
Petrone was unable to improve on the 
river and Benitez stayed alive in the hunt for his third title of the series.
